A formal news agency in Iran reported that fraudulent employers are misusing contact numbers, identity documents, academic credentials, national ID cards, birth certificates, bank accounts, and ATM cards of workers and company personnel. According to the 'ILNA' news agency, based on 'public reports' and internal workshop news, this is happening nationwide, and workers' unfamiliarity with the laws has exacerbated the issue. Alireza Heydari, a labor relations and social security expert, stated that the violating employer can exert more pressure to force the workforce into these actions in the workplace. Erfan Karam Veysi, a lawyer and criminal law expert, noted that proving a case where a fraudster has used tools to pressure an individual to participate in a crime is very difficult. Experts believe that issues such as economic pressure and the threat of unemployment are among the factors that lead workers to comply with many of the employers' demands. Economic difficulties, employer exploitation, lack of job security, and many other current issues faced by workers are the result of restrictions imposed by the government on independent labor activities in this area. The absence of independent labor associations and unions has challenged workers' ability to advocate for their rights.
